The effect is different depending on the type of focus being applied. In the case of encouraging POP types like Clerks, it increases the likelihood of other POPs promoting to that type by 10%. See the wiki page for for more information.As for the effects of taxation, I don't believe these is a direct link between tax levels and promotion. However there is a link between the needs your POPs can fulfil and their chance to promote or demote, and lowering taxes for an income band would mean those POPs have more money for them to spend on those needs.Important note: only Life needs as looked at when calculating a POP's chance to promote (fulfilling them makes promotion more likely), while all three needs are examined when calculating a POP's chance to demote (fulfilling various needs for each class band makes demotion less likely). Therefore to promote more clerks you would need to decrease taxes for the middle class, not the lower class. See the wiki page on for more information.

Yes, it will have that effect - decreasing tax for the middle class will give them the money to fulfil more of their needs, making them more likely to promote to rich POPs (if Life needs are fulfilled) and less likely to demote to poor POPs (if other needs are also filled). However, you also need to think about the chance for the rich POPs to stay rich - bearing in mind that richer POPs also have greater needs to fulfil to avoid being demoted again.

Honestly, it makes my head hurt a bit thinking about it.:)–Aug 26 '14 at 16:58.

Seriously, it is unplayable right now and is just a complete mess. Endless rebels every where which you can't kill because battles take 18 months to finish and result in 1% casualties, a broken economic system which results in there never being any demand for anything and pops being unable to get stuff like fish or fruit even though you are the largest producer in the world, etc.Sadly, Paradox has been in decline ever since their American parent company spun them off on their own and the independent operation is so rinky dink it's a joke. It's become routine for their games to come out completely unplay tested as well as dysfunctional while their customer service has gotten so bad I will no longer even buy their products. That's right, I've gone from being a huge vocal supporter who bought everything they put out to a guy who won't ever give them a penny again. WTF do you make it so that the only way to get customer support is through the website, then make it so that you can't register the game if you've ever gotten a violation on their web site.

When HOI3 came out I started a thread pointing out several serious bugs and issues with the newly released game and instead of thanking me for tracking down issues they failed to find on their own they warned me not to 'bad mouth' their game and then put me on perminent probation which means now I can't even register any PI games which means I can't legally get them to work or get any customer service for them. It's just retarded. Oerdin, I've been playing their games since EU1 and I can tell you that every game they release, on release, is complete crap. I think they treat a release as a beta. They are the best company I have ever seen with regards to patching their games, however.It seems.ed up but never buy a Paradox game new.

Within 12-18 months after release, they have expansions and patches that make the game playable. I heard EU3 was crap when it came out but I bought it recently with all 3 expansions and patched it up and it's flawless and bugless. I've been checking the forums and will be giving Vicky 2 a while. There's already a couple of guys modding the hell out of everything, mostly the economy, which is in serious needs of balancing (Paradox basically gave one of the factory pops sky-high requirements to drive industrialization, and all it does is generate tons of unhappy people who revolt, or something like that).Some factories are downright unprofitable, since one factory produces more than enough to feed the demand.Demand isn't calculated properly. If y people want x good, that good costs proportionally to that demand, even if none of those can afford to pay even 1/4 of the new cost (so you have higly-demanded goods which are left unsold because noone can afford them).

I played this for a few days right when it came out, and quickly put it aside, right about the time when the world ran out of resources and half the US rose up in revolt every other week. It was torture, not fun.A new beta patch came out last week, and I've been playing around with it since. Much better now. Still a few problems (there still seem to be some shortages of common industrial goods, since it seems like prices of highly-demanded things aren't increasing properly), but it's enjoyable now at least.Full changelog.
